Please note that this tutorial assumes you already have a network connection established.If you have a UMIACS account, you already have access.
The UMIACS VPN is accessible through the Pulse Secure Client. Alternatively, you can establish a connection through a web browser.
As of May 10th 2019, MFA Authentication is mandatory.
NOTE: If your computer is a Microsoft Surface laptop or any other computer with an ARM processor, you will need to proceed differently from the standard Windows instructions. Please refer to the instructions here.
Upon starting the client for the first time it may ask to upgrade the client. This will pull an up to date version of the client with the most recent configuration.
Start the client if it is not already running - it usually starts by default on bootup.
Enter Secondary Password for MFA. For example, if you wish to push a notification to your device, type the word "push" into the secondary password box.
The Pulse VPN multi-factor authentication implementation relies on a secondary authentication source to fulfill the MFA requirement. As a result, you will be prompted for credentials twice.
Second Credential Password Value:
Result
push
Send a push verification to your Duo connected device
phone
Send a call verification to your Duo connected device.
<press YubiKey>
If you have a physical token then you would press the YubiKey for the one time password.
Please note that registering a YubiKey for use with the VPN requires interaction with UMIACS Tech Staff. Please contact us if you would like to register a YubiKey for this purpose.
Pro-tip: Select ‘Save Settings’ on the secondary authentication prompt to have Duo automatically use your preferred method.
You should now be connected to the UMIACS VPN.
Checking VPN Status
In the bottom right hand corner, in your status bar, you should see an S icon. If there's a green arrow, that means you are connected! If there is nothing, that means you are not.
